About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

EEK 9 Days!!
Ok, nine days of torture left. Let me think about that for a moment. Nine days isn't a long time, really. It just FEELS ike it. I have been spending way too much time on the boards at Amazon. Reading what the other contestants have to say, making some friends. There is even a woman who lives nearby, and we plan to meet up at the library one day soon.
I am a writer. That statement has never been so scary to me before. I am branching out, and have TWO writing buddies lined up. I will have two people ready, willing, and able to rip apart my book and then I will have to do the same for them. These are people that I haven't established a relationship with as of yet. Not sure I even like the idea.
I'm lucky here on WDC. I've made friends, and value their insight and opinions, so going elsewhere freaks me out a bit. Especially since I've turned into a homebody. I enjoy sitting at the computer for endless hours, reading, writing and chatting with fellow writers. If I were to go and finally meet one of the people that I've establshed a realtionship with now, I know that appearances wouldn't matter because I know the person lurking inside. Does that make sense? Well, in my warped mind it does. If I don't like an opinion, no one sees my facial expressions and knows instantly what I think. I have time to respond kindly. In person, that will all change.
I could meet a writing buddy and instantly form an opinion the second I lay eyes on them, which I know I will. We all do this. How in the world will I be able to hide these emotions that make my face so readable. If only I could lie and pretend like Rabih does so easily.
Must head off for another exciting day of auto repair.  |
